Author uses humor and rhymes to help build vocabulary and
literacy skills
LONG ISLAND, N.Y.,
July 8,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Mia is a young girl who
loves to dance and learn. One day she makes friends with three
little mice in her yard and spends all day with them. But Mia calls
her friends mouses, even though her friends and family explain
to her that "mice" is the correct word. Combining her curiosity
with some help from her teacher, Mia learns the rules for making
nouns plural.
"Learning to read and write is so worth the
effort and just as fun and fulfilling to learn as dancing and
playing. I hope 'Mia's Mouses' inspires children and their parents
to appreciate the value of literacy and education."
In "Mia's Mouses," author Joseph L.
Licari combines rhyming storytelling with educational value,
addressing one of the common challenges children face in learning
English grammar. This tale can serve as a valuable resource for
parents and educators striving to make grammar lessons engaging and
accessible.
"Learning to read and write is so worth the effort and just as
fun and fulfilling to learn as dancing and playing," said Licari.
"I hope 'Mia's Mouses' inspires children and their parents to
appreciate the value of literacy and education. After all, reading
and grammar should be fun and interesting for kids too, and I
believe this new book can help achieve that."
Licari is an active member of the Society of Children's Book
Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI), the Long Island Children's
Writers and Illustrators (LICWI) and the Smithtown Library Writing
Group. He has been visiting 2nd and 3rd grade classes, sharing
readings and discussing his book "Mia's Mouses," while leading
workshops using his companion workbook, "Mia's Mouses Workbook and
Coloring Book", which is meant to further enhance the learning
experience with interactive activities, crossword puzzles, and word
searches.
"The English language and its rules of grammar can often seem
difficult, especially when it comes to mastering regular and
irregular plural nouns," said Licari. "But with a bit of practice
and a touch of curiosity, these concepts become much more
approachable and even enjoyable for young readers and writers."
